With the outs I'm not super confident at all.

 

It's all about system, if we get that right we shut down the Doges and win.

 

But with a bunch of new back six players trying to gel with that system, we might leak more goals that any of us would like.

 

Hopefully the mids and forward line fire!

Did they say why Lever is out? 

Fireworks is also out. Big losses all around. 

Why were there fireworks in the 1st place. Not fussed by that. Hopefully the little leaguers get a crack

 

No Lever, Hibbo, Rivers or Petty. 4 of our starting defensive 6 last year. Not good.

Will be up to our midfield whether we win or lose this one.

The Basking is over damn it!   This has all come around very quickly.  Can we delay the start of the season for another few months?


OUT: Stefan Martin, Lachie Hunter (Sub) IN: Hayden Crozier, Ryan Gardner

    And there's just been an announcement that the half-time fireworks and lights show has been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances.

    Might as well call the season off.

    uh oh

     

    End of the day this will be won in the guts 

    Defence is shaky but if our team Defence is on and we win contested possession we will win

    Backline in all sorts.

    Think we are in trouble before game has even started..

    Martin out to me suggests dogs have conceded the ruck battle already 

    max needs to push back hard to help defence

    Ok well at least English will spend less time forward with Martin out.

    English can certainly take a contested mark up fwd and is a nice kick for goal.

    Remember the few times many many years ago when Schwab I'm sure it was came up with the idea to raise the flag after very few of our wins & it was just dumb.

    How good is it to see a real flag unveiled. One that says premiers

    Still feel embarrassment thinking about those hideous blazers he had the players wearing.

    Lever apparently has a foot injury. Hope it's not to serious.

    Gee I just want start well & kick straight & bank the points

    Anything to be read into Smith spending a lot of his warm up time taking shots at goal from all angles?

    🤔

    What's all this about the Dogs and dropping Hunter?

    Foot = disaster 

    With 4 backmen out, any sort of win will do

    One point does it


    I would love to hear that crappy song that the dogs hate us singing playing over the loud speaker while the dogs are doing their warm-up on the ground

    Lever being out has definitely dented my confidence, that said Lever didn’t have an insanely good game in the GF. Like always, win from the middle and starve the dogs of chances. 

     

    Defensive depth will be well and truly tested tonight. Big ask to cover all of lever, petty, rivers and Hibbo .

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
